Got my April issue of "Sport Fishing Magazine" and on page 26 there was an article about menhaden in RI. They want to stop the commercial harvest of menhaden which most of the catch is used for lobster bait. Attached is an article on RISAA website.

Just read somewhere about the Striped Bass, in that same area, eating the lobster.

just looked up the fed catch numbers for RI. 6 metric tons of Menhaden in 2005.

Rockfish = disappering crabs?
